Cape Town Winelands & Accommodation
Cape Town is South Africa's oldest and most beautiful city. When the Dutch settlers arrived here in the 17th century, they immediately started on their first project planting the Company Gardens to supply food for the ships of the Dutch East India Company. Three hundred years later this garden inspired the Garden at Babylonstoren.

Stellenbosch is also renowned for its wine route, the country's oldest, where handsome Cape Dutch manor houses steeped in history and culture are surrounded by vineyards and scenic mountain ranges.
